Gao Hongbo really didn't expect that the warm-up matches arranged for him by Changsheng were opponents like Germany and Spain......

He thought it would be good to find some second- and third-rate teams in Europe.

"This ...... As a warm-up match, will the opponent be too strong? ”

He was a little worried.

"What are you afraid of in the warm-up game? It's normal for you to lose to Spain and Germany, are you worried that losing to these two teams will hurt your morale? Then, when the real Asian Cup is about to start, you can arrange another weak team to find confidence. Chang Sheng said.

"The key is the quality of the warm-up game, and finding ways to play your technical and tactical characteristics in the game against strong teams. None of the opponents you have faced in the Asian Cup can be called 'underdogs'. It's not possible for the opposition to let you pass the ball at will in the midfield like in a friendly game, they will definitely press and defend high. What are you going to do? You have to be able to accumulate such surprises in the competition against the strong teams, otherwise it is useless to play more and more warm-up matches with all the flowers. ”

Gao Hongbo was persuaded by Chang Sheng and accepted his arrangement.

He did worry about it.

The friendly game is very beautiful, but what about the real fight?

The qualifiers and the finals are two completely different competitions. And the Chinese team is fortunate to be in a group with the host Qatar, and the West Asians like the most good at match-fixing, if nothing happens in the game between Qatar and the Chinese team, it is really hard to say.

In order to cope with all kinds of situations, he does need some high-level plays.

"And when you come in December, you can also play a few teaching games with my Lazio, and the harvest is bigger than if you play in Hainan and the domestic club."

Gao Hongbo nodded: "That's good, but the warm-up matches and training camps are not up to me, I have to report to the Football Association......"

"There you go. You say it's an unsolicited request from the Lazio club. ”

※※※

After Gao Hongbo hung up the phone, he did not report to the Football Association immediately, but asked his wife first, who was the deputy director of the Football Association's press office, and she should have a more sensitive sense of smell to these things than herself.

He wanted to ask his wife if there would be any problems with him if he had said it to Chang Sheng in private, and then asked the Football Association.

After listening to him, his wife pondered for a while, and then said, "You can be tactful. Pay attention to some ways of speaking. I think the only problem with this matter is the money, and the money spent on training camps in Hainan and Guangzhou is not as much as it is spent in Italy......"

As soon as his wife mentioned this problem, Gao Hongbo's phone rang, and it looked like it was Chang Sheng calling again.

Gao Hongbo picked it up in front of his wife: "Is there anything else, Lao Chang?" ”

"I forgot to mention it. Old high. I guess the Football Association will be more sensitive to money. If their annual salary is too high, you tell them that the cost of accommodation and meals at the Vermelo training ground is all-inclusive and you don't have to pay a penny! ”

When Gao Hongbo heard this, he looked at his wife and smiled.

thanked Chang Sheng, hung up the phone and said to his wife: "I really want to go together, Chang Sheng called to say." The cost of accommodation and food is also covered by Club Lazio. ”

So the wife laughed too: "Then the resistance is much less." You know the Football Association is flattering, and if you can get involved with a club like Lazio, I think they would be willing to do the same. ”

So Gao Hongbo dialed the phone number of the chairman of the Football Association. told the chairman of the Football Association about the news of the training warm-up in the phone between him and Chang Sheng.

※※※

Just when Gao Hongbo was on the phone with the Football Association, Chang Sheng was also calling Lotito and told Lotito about the conversation between himself and Gao Hongbo.

The main thing is to ask Lotito to lend the club's training base to the Chinese national team for free.

Lotito was a little hesitant to provide free accommodation and meals, and Chang Sheng laughed at him: "The Chinese national team is here for training. How much will that attract the attention of the Chinese media and the Chinese fans, Mr. President? It's all invisible free publicity and advertising. And ......"

Chang Shengjiao laughed: "We can train in a closed field. If you want to shoot the media of the Chinese team and Lazio training together, you have to pay! Isn't this money coming? ”

Lotito's eyes lit up when he heard this: "That's a good idea!" ”

That's it, there is no problem for the Lazio club.

※※※

At the same time, the Football Association also agreed to Gao Hongbo's proposal to go to Rome, Italy, and the training base of Lazio Club for training.

They agreed without hesitation, which surprised Gao Hongbo.

How did Gao Hongbo know that just a day ago, the head of Wanda Group, a well-known real estate developer in China, approached the Chinese Football Association and proposed that they were willing to spend a lot of money to sponsor Chinese football and support the development of Chinese football.

This plan made the Chinese Football Association very excited.

Wanda Group offered to help the Football Association pay for a world-class coach to coach the Chinese team to the 2014 World Cup in Brazil.

In addition, they have a package of other plans, such as sending several batches of young players to foreign clubs for training every year, and these funds are paid by Wanda Group......

The investment in the first year alone is 135 million RMB!

This part of the money includes sponsorship of the Chinese Super League, as well as the expenses of the Chinese team, as well as referee funds, the U-series youth league and the youth overseas program.

According to the cooperation plan provided by Wanda Group, the cooperation period between the two sides will be more than 10 years, and the investment in the five projects of Chinese football will increase year by year, with an annual increase of no more than 20%. If calculated in 20% increments each year, it is estimated that by the end of the 10-year contract, the contract value will be about 3.5 billion yuan.

Of course, this amount does not constitute a burden for Wanda Group, Wanda Group currently has commercial real estate, high-end hotels, chemical industry, chain department stores, tourism and vacation five major industries, plans to open 70 Wanda Plaza by 2012, holding a rental property area of 13 million square meters, annual rental income of more than 7 billion yuan, a year to invest more than 100 million yuan in Chinese football, can be said to be a drop in the bucket.

When the Chinese Football Association was excited that Wanda Group, the financier, had taken the initiative to come to the door, and couldn't find the north, I heard that the Lazio club also took the initiative to extend an olive branch...... They really wonder if the spring of Chinese football is coming......

The reason why the Football Association is so happy to support Gao Hongbo's proposal is because they realize that this is an important way to tie up with Lazio FC and Changsheng.

Isn't Wanda Group looking for a world-class handsome?

There is no need for a global coach, there is a world-class coach in front of him - Chang Sheng!

If you can convince Chang Sheng to coach the national team, then it will look good both in terms of results and their face.

The Football Association thinks that the grade of the National Olympic team is too low, and this time if they invite Chang Sheng to coach the Chinese national team, Chang Sheng will not refuse.

If it doesn't work, they can also agree to win part-time and coach Lazio and the national team at the same time......

It's just that I can't establish a trusting and friendly relationship with Changsheng.

It's really sleepy, someone sent a pillow.

Isn't that the perfect opportunity?

Everyone has taken the initiative to throw an olive branch, if the Football Association refuses, wouldn't it be a slap in the face? So what kind of cooperation are you talking about in the future?

※※※

Gao Hongbo hung up the phone and shook his head at his wife and said, "It's unbelievable." I thought the Football Association was going to make it difficult anyway......"

The wife smiled: "It's good if it goes well." This time in the Asian Cup, let's play well. Just because you became the head coach of the national team, my dad started watching the national team again. He hadn't seen it for a long time. ”

Gao Hongbo smiled a little shyly: "Strive not to disappoint the old man." ”

※※※

The next thing goes to the official level.

Lazio FC officially sent a letter to the Chinese Football Association, inviting them to the Vermelo training base to train and prepare for the Asian Cup.

And the Chinese Football Association, of course, accepted it.

Subsequently, the Chinese Football Association, the German Football Association, and the Spanish Football Association sent letters respectively to apply for warm-up matches with these two national teams.

And because the football associations of the two countries were greeted in advance by the head coaches of the national teams, naturally there was nothing to refuse, and they agreed one after another.

In this way, half a month before the start of the training camp, the Chinese Football Association has finalized all the training matters.

It happened that Indonesia was going to participate in the Southeast Asian Football Championship and could not participate in the warm-up match on the 26th, so the game was canceled, and the Chinese team now has no time to fly back to China from Rome, Italy to play such a game.

The warm-up opponents are all world-class teams, and it's not uncommon for them to play against teams like Indonesia - a price drop!

Soon the Chinese Football Association, the Spanish Football Association, the German Football Association and Lazio Club officially announced this series of news.

The Chinese Football Association announced that the Chinese national team will go to Rome, Italy to train and prepare for the Asian Cup, and play a warm-up match with the Spanish national team and the German national team respectively!

When the news was announced, Chinese fans and their little friends were stunned!

At first, everyone thought that this was fake news and rumors, and they scolded the media for having no bottom line and only spreading rumors.

But when Lazio, the Spanish Football Federation and the German Football Federation all confirmed the news, Chinese fans were shocked again.

Someone exclaimed: "With the broken team of the Chinese team, Germany and Spain can compete to warm up...... Is this the sun hitting the west and coming out? ”

"Training in Lazio? Then warm up with Germany and Spain...... The Chinese team's preparation for the Asian Cup is a bit extravagant! ”

"What's the rhythm of this? Why did the Chinese team suddenly become the sweet spot that everyone is scrambling for? Is it really a sensitive word that is going to be on the top? ”

There was a lot of discussion on the Internet!
